Lilina was born in the [[Timeline of Elibe|year 985]], five years after his father Hector defeated [[Nergal]] at the Dragon's Gate; her mother is not canonically identified, but in the gameplay of ''Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade'' she can potentially be [[Lyn]], [[Florina]] or [[Farina]]. At the age of ten, she and Hector receive a visit from Eliwood and his son Roy from Pherae, Roy was there introduced to her, and the two became close friends. | Lilina was born in the [[Timeline of Elibe|year 985]], five years after his father Hector defeated [[Nergal]] at the Dragon's Gate; her mother is not canonically identified, but in the gameplay of ''Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade'' she can potentially be [[Lyn]], [[Florina]] or [[Farina]].

She should be kept away from danger, as she has poor durability and cannot survive most attacks. Her base stats are low and she struggles to contribute early on, but her high magic growth and her decent resistance can lead her to deal significant magic damage and receive very little damage from enemy magic users with enough dedication. She is required to stay alive during her join chapter in order to obtain the [[Durandal]] sword, otherwise, the player cannot access the true ending. | ||
Once Lilina joins, she has much more competition than Lugh and later Hugh, and fielding her is difficult to justify because of her low base stats. Her base magic is low, so her damage output is unimpressive.

Her base magic is low, so her damage output is unimpressive. Her speed is too low to double, and she will get doubled herself by most enemies; as her HP and defense are also low, her main weakness are the enemies that are speedy in doubling her (such as [[Myrmidon]]s), those using brave weapons that can one-round her, and the ones who have an high chance to crit her, defeating her in one-hit (such as [[Berserker]]s, [[Swordmaster]]s and those who wield killer weapons such as the [[Killing Edge]]). Her skill is also low, so she will be inaccurate with any tome except [[Fire (tome)|Fire]]. These flaws are mitigated only after long-term training, which takes significant time and effort due to her weak start, and may be difficult to justify when such dedication could be put towards a unit that already contributes. Lilina's presence and training is also particularly harmful to ranked runs, as chapters will require more turns to complete as to allow Lilina to gain experience (Including the use of [[Arena]]s); this can harm the player's tactics [[Rankings|ranking]]. | ||
The payoff for training Lilina is a unit with a very high magic stat. Most enemies in ''The Binding Blade'', even on Hard mode, have fairly low resistance, which Lilina can deal significant damage against. This power can be strengthened with the powerful [[Forblaze]] and supports from units with the [[Fire (affinity)|Fire]], [[Wind (affinity)|Wind]], and [[Anima (affinity)|Anima]] affinities; while increasing Lilina's Anima level and growing her supports may take some time, dedicating experience and resources to Lilina will already encourage a slower pace. It should be noted that with her very high magic stat, Lilina is one of the few units capable of causing huge amounts of damage to enemy [[manakete]]s without the need to use legendary weapons or weapons that cause extra damage against them, defeating them or at least leaving them with very little HP, especially when attacking from a distance. Even so, she does not perform well as a boss killer due to her lack of skill and accuracy, when units with more speed and skill such as [[Rutger]] or [[Dieck]] can perform better in this role. | The payoff for training Lilina is a unit with a very high magic stat.

Also, Lilina fights better against all other magic users with her high resistance; she even tends to go against the [[Trinity of Magic]], as she can defeat even [[shaman]]s and [[druid]]s, the only dark magic users, despite the dark magic strength against anima, since Lilina is very little affected by the disadvantage penalty. Even so, she does not perform well as a boss killer due to her lack of skill and accuracy, when units with more speed and skill such as [[Rutger]] or [[Dieck]] can perform better in this role. | ||
Once she is promoted to [[Sage]], Lilina is the unit that heals huge amounts of HP with staves such as [[Heal]]s and [[Mend]]s, much more than other staffbots. However, she starts at an E-rank in staves and training her in staves is even more difficult to justify, so it is very likely that she cannot use the [[Physic]] or the best staffs in the game, such as [[Fortify]], [[Sleep]], [[Silence]] or [[Berserk]], and so it is impossible for her to be a candidate to use the [[Staff of the Saint]]. | Once she is promoted to [[Sage]], Lilina is the unit that heals huge amounts of HP with staves such as [[Heal]]s and [[Mend]]s, much more than other staffbots.

Aside from serving as a staffbot, Lilina also has utility outside of combat as a unit responsible for some recruitments in the game such as axe wielders like [[Gonzalez]] and [[Garret]]. Without Lilina, it is impossible to recruit them. | |||
